However, there is no doubt that the addition of Star and sports content will push the price up.

I don't think there's any stated intention to offer sports in the UK. Disney's Western brand for sports is EPSN and that's currently licensed to BT Sport.
The confusion seems to have arisen in that instead of using the part-owned Hulu brand for their adult-orientated content, Disney will be using their Star brand from India, which is heavily associated with cricket coverage. However, it looks like it's just the brand that's being used and not the content.
